Microsoft Launches Its .NET Distribution for Linux and Mac

More importantly, this is huge, but as a Linux developer/user I still have no desire to use .NET on my platform. Maybe Mono has scarred my permanently.

Am I the only one bothered that they didn't include the space between the "OS" and the "X"? More importantly, this is huge, but as a Linux developer/user I still have no desire to use .NET on my platform. Maybe Mono has scarred my permanently.

Also linux developer/user and I'd crawl over broken glass to have a reliable C# runtime on Linux, it's my absolute favorite language.

Does it include the source? And how liberal is the license?

For a moment I thought Microsoft is releasing a Linux distro with .NET sdk pre-installed.

It would've been great if the author knew what 'distribution' means in this context.
